happy halloween

yay! it's finally halloween and we are ready for trick or treating and partying!!!!

rebecca is a silly clown... of course!.... she is so silly and dramatic!

kirsten is a sweet black kitty. she loves her little kitties she took care of so this costume fits her well

addy is dressed in a masquerade ball gown and mask, we were inspired by cecile's and marie-grace's mardi gras ball costumes.

felicity is a spunky jack-o-lantern which fits with her spirited personality and fiery red hair

samantha is a glitzy witch with a sparkly hat to top it off

the girls are getting ready for trick or treating now

they are on a sugar high as rebecca and kirsten dance around in circles the other girls laugh hysterically!
let the dancing and festivities begin!!

new umbrella!!

felicity got a new personalized umbrella with penny on it!
my family has been going to silver dollar city in branson, mo almost every year my whole life and now we even get season passes and go multiple times in a year. my mom and i just went and i had a mini umbrella made for felicity. i showed the lady a picture of penny and she drew it perfectly! they have bigger full sized umbrellas that you can have personalized too (i have two of them). i'd love to have a mini one for each of my dolls and at a reasonable price of only $11 (and no charge for the design) i don't see why i couldn't just do that!!
isn't it so super cute!?

getting ready for halloween

the girls are getting ready for halloween.
lots of decorations, masks, and hats are being made for their halloween party!

samantha and kirsten are working on the decorations

felicity and rebecca plan and talk about their costumes

 
addy hangs the halloween bunting
  
the costumes are ready and laying out but we can't tell what we are going to be yet...
it's a surprise! can you guess??

all the decorations and masks/hats were made by me (minus the authentic mini pumpkins and gourds and the trick-or-treat buckets)

for these little guys i used cut outs from a victorian calender, paper, pipe cleaners, wine bottle corks and lots of glitter glue

this is my favorite! it's just cut outs from a victorian calender again which i mounted on card stock and glued to ribbon. of course i added glitter and rhinestones for some bling!

we can't wait to put on our costumes and start the party!!!!!!
